Vintage LEITZ LEICA Focomat 1c Ic Color FILM Enlarger.Photography DARKROOM Print

Description: From an old Photographer's Estate---- here's a Vintage old-school Leica Darkroom Enlarger for making wet-darkroom prints from 35mm film negatives--- I'm not sure how big the maximum is, but definitely bigger than 8x10 in size. It is made by Leitz in Wetzlar Germany, probably from the 1950's. (It has a cool emblem on it from the camera dealer in Zurich, Switzerland that originally sold it.) It's an Autofocus Enlarger--- and once it's calibrated, you won't need the old Grain Focuser---- as you raise and lower it, the cams keep it in focus. This one has a filter drawer to hold the standard 2.5 inch size Beseler, Kodak or Ilford contrast filters. It is used---- has some wear to it---- a few paint chips and nicks, some corrosion on some bare metal parts, age discoloration of the wood baseboard, and general dirt & dust here and there. It will need a good cleaning, and it might need some electrical work--- I don't know what the motor thing at the back of the board is for, and I haven't plugged it in to see if it works. (Electricity scares me) But the mechanical aspects look to be in good shape and it seems fully functional---- moves up and down easily. It has a negative carrier and lens, a 5cm f/3.5 Elmar and the lens looks to be in Excellent condition--- no big issues but it might have a hint of fog. Otherwise the aperture works fine--- is clean with No oil. So with a good cleaning it should be good to go. What you see is what you'll get--- the actual item for sale is pictured... please examine the photos. Continental US Shipping will be Calculated. It will be packed well and safe, partially disassembled--- but well padded, the box fortified and heavily taped. International Shipping will be at an insane cost, because the box will be very big and weigh about 35 lbs. Naturally, the buyer can elect to pick-up in the Hartford, CT area. The shipping amount will be refunded afterward or some other arrangement. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Buying you Agree that: I am not Amazon or a professional Camera Store seller--- just a pragmatic collector/shooter selling some Used items. My goal is to not try to rip anybody off or sneak one past you, but that said, I'm not into having things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping". So because ebay sux, I'm sorry, I can't sell the items on Approval, it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs and thus No Returns. Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge. I try to be detailed and truthful but I can't describe every every inch of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a few specs of dust that I failed to mention... but they would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be 100% Perfection. This is about 60 Years Old, is a used item--- Not Brand New and has not been fully cleaned and calibrated, so expect it to need some work. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown.
